Of course, if Iran assembles a dirty sub-critical bomb in a shipping container and explodes it in the Port of Los Angeles all bets are off, the U.S. would turn Iran into the worlds largest glass-floored self-lighting parking lot.

You can't really look at San Francisco. You have to look elsewhere in California to see the real picture. Bakersfield, prices in freefall. San Bernadino, freefall. Riverside, freefall. Nobody is losing money along the coast, or on the hilltops. My house is designed by a famous...

Russia? Old news. China and India are far more interesting, and sober. Corruption and alcoholism is built-in to the soul of about 99% of all Russians. Personally I prefer Ukraine. How do those women in Kiev get such long legs? And such bad hair lol?

Absolutely right about ethanol. I think the important message is that the U.S. will make ethanol *regardless* of the inefficiency because it is feasible and represents a way to distribute energy intended for transportation utilizing the existing gasoline distribution system. The U.S. will do...

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/24/world/asia/24taiwan.html I know, I know, the NYT can't be considered a reliable source, yet this article is well written and spells it out, the new President is a ROC puppet.

China will not intervene nor will their oil supply be disrupted. The deal with China was cut last year. We gave up Taiwan. China agreed to force N. Korea to the table and to give lattitude in the Gulf. Iranian oil will continue to flow through Kargh, under U.S. administration. Taiwan will revert...

Not implying some direct defense. But if Iran ever struck a USN vessel with a weapon of any kind I'm quite sure the U.S. would attack every Iranian installation within airstrike range of the carriers with conventional weapons. All Iranian Naval installations would be flattened, all radar sites...

Oh, really? :D

Antigua is just a place you stop on the way to or from somewhere better. I have more antigua stamps in my passport than any other and I've never spent a night there.

Iran and much of the world actually think that the hamas and hezbolla surrounding Israel represent a real military threat. What a joke. If Israel attacked the Iranian nuke facilities Iran would unleash the rocket launching terrorists that surround Israel. Israel would simply treat these...

You've inspired me to buy a GT40. Gonna trade my eurotrash carrera in and never look back. Have a great eurotrash day!

Sorry kid, gotta put ya on ignore. Hope you get those mental health issues sorted out.

Take one guess who hired the Enron energy traders.

There is a sense here in socal that the state is unmanageable and ungovernable. Even freakin Arnold couldn't do shit. He is going to have us borrow from "future lottery earnings". Flakiest shit I ever heard of. Yep, more towns here are going under. Some of them have bonds out there.

Why do people assume Obama will wreck the economy? Democrats aren't necessarily bad for the markets or underlying economy, unless their name is Jimmy Carter. Looks like GW (whom I voted for) is going to let the economy go to shit while enriching his friends in his last year (kind of like...

American nightmare? America is like Ford Motor Company. When people are talking down Ford I'm buying it. I've seen 3 complete cycles where Ford was on the ropes and then came back with great designs and great quality. Its like clockwork. Its my 401-F. Go ahead and bet against America. Be...

Greatest trade? Louisiana purchase, easily. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase Oh, he said stock. :D

Heh, never get off the boat. :D Seriously, you'll probably be fine. Its not like the place goes beserk everyday. If you can pick up a deal, why not? Seems like you are doing your homework. I know what you mean about the airfares. Going farther down the chain you start having to take Air...

St. Croix is the most dangerous of the 3 islands. You don't want to be there after a large storm. Once the island was hit hard and *all* the convicts escaped from the main prison and were roaming the island in an armed hoard invading homes, crazy shit. St. Thomas has the capital, Charlotte...

I used to work and live up and down the chain of islands from Puerto Rico to the mainland in French Guiana doing, ah, satellite related work. I always liked Dominica the best and would go there when not working: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominica Martinique is a close second. Avoid...
